Nowadays, when you become a parent, you join the organic vs. non-organic debate.  Should I buy organic bananas?  What about organic apples, are they really juicier?  Does organic milk really taste better?  What about organic vegetables, are they really greener?  What is the difference between organic tomatoes and non-organic tomatoes?  Are they really redder?

This is an oldie, but a goodie…Honestly…
A few months ago I bought He Said Beer, She Said Wine, a great book on beer and wine food pairing.  I must admit, I was a little skeptical at first. I always thought wine and cheese parties were a little gay (ok, a lot gay).  Then, I started reading about grapes, [...]
